Naked Energy, a British solar tech startup, has raised £1 million in funding from Nesta Impact Investments. The funding will be used to expand the company's engineering and commercial teams and scale production of its cutting-edge solar technology. The deal comes as part of a funding round that has already seen investment from Barclays and ELM Companies. The company's Virtu collector combines high efficiency solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal technology to generate both electricity and heat from a single collector. The technology is proven to be 3-4x more efficient than commonly seen solar panels and is perfect for businesses with high heat demand but limited roof space.

Naked Energy Secures £1 Million Investment from Nesta Impact Investments

Naked Energy is a British solar tech startup that develops solar heat and power technology. Founded in 2011 by Christophe Williams, the company’s Virtu collector combines high efficiency solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal technology to generate both electricity and heat from a single collector. Their unique modular design makes them the world’s highest energy density solar technology, allowing homeowners to simultaneously enjoy solar electricity and hot water from one panel. The VirtuHOT collector, which generates solar heat, received the gold standard TUV Rheinland certification last year. Both technologies are proven to be 3-4x more efficient than commonly seen solar panels, and perfect for businesses with high heat demand but limited roof space.
